I just installed this USB3 by Grom in my 08 Cooper. The only thing the car was lacking for us was hands free/speaker phone & the ability to charge/play music from my iphone. I must say this was a really simple install & it integrates seamlessly! I also hard wired my Escort radar detector at the same time. I love to improve things! Here is a quick video I made about it: [ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivvrO4wCCvw&"]Grom USB3 blue tooth interface install on 08 Mini Cooper S Convertible review - YouTube[/ame]
